Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the point about the citizen's pension is not how much it is but that everybody receives it? One of the fundamental issues on which his party is wrong is that people have a sense that they should contribute towards their pension. Initially I was attracted to the idea of the citizen's pension, but the contributory principle is important. People think it is important to work and save for retirement; they seem to appreciate that fundamental principle.
